It’s not everyday you see actor Owen Wilson in a picture this epic. Behind Enemy Lines (1999) was certainly a treat and with the virility of the latest trailer with Devil and As Above, So Below helmer, writer and director John Erick Dowdle‘s No Escape, it’s great to see Wilson in a story as riveting as this – a father who gets chucked at the deep end overseas in Asia while trying to protect his family amid gunfire and political upheaval. And with Pierce Brosnan too? Solid.
SYNOPSIS:
An intense international thriller, NO ESCAPE centers on an American businessman (Wilson) as he and his family settle into their new home in Southeast Asia. Suddenly finding themselves in the middle of a violent political uprising, they must frantically look for a safe escape as rebels mercilessly attack the city.
Lake Bell also stars from a script co-written by Drew Dowdle and is set to release on September 2 from The Weinstein Company. Watch the trailer below.
